Six weeks ago. says Morris, Pa, dispatch TO the
New York Sz,, John Mahoney, . misery and &C.
centric farmer, died In this township, where he
had lived nearly all his life. It was known that
he had large sums Of money secreted somewhere
about his premises, but he died without revealing
any OF the hiding places. After his death only 9
few dollars could be found. That he was possessed
weil-knOwn fact, and certain persons who were
present when Mahoney died were suspected OF
having discovered where the money was and
stolen It. On wednesday Of this week Jas Wilson
and Paul Nash were hunting In q piece OF WOODS
near MahOney's house. gray squirrel was seen
running toward Q large tree. Nash shot and
wounded II, but 1t escaped up the tree

at that spot. Nash climbed the tree ana found
wooden box into which the squirrel had crawled
at hole In one side OF 1t, and lay dead among
heap OF rubbish. On examining the contents OF
the box, Nash Was aStonished to see that they
were made up entirely or small particles OF bank
notes. He brought the box TO the ground. From
figures on them denoting what their denomina-
ton had been, they must have represented the
destruction OF between s., 900 and $1,000. When
the discovery OF the box was made known q
ne1ghbOr OF MahOneyS remembered having seen
the m5er pay several visits to the tree just before
ne died. II Is supposed that the old man felt that
his end was near, and had removed his money from
his house to the curious hiding place where It was

dispatch from Laurel, Del, says: Isaiah Beach,
an old wealthy farmer living near the Maryland
line, and Robert Morris, mulatto, became In
volved in q heated discussion sunday over the
ownership of a valuable bird-dog which Beach ac-
cused Morris Of stealing. Morris threatened Beach
with violence and irritated his white adversary
that Beach proceeded 10 chastise him. The mu-
latto Morris then drew large knife and plunged
IL into the stomach OF Beach, making terrible
wound nine inch In length. The wounded man
is In precariOus condition, with small chance for
recovery. Morris lied, but was subsequently CAP
tured and placed under arrest The crime is the
outcome OF a feud which dates back to 1854 when
Beach whipped Morris into unconsciousness hts
life being despaired OF Soon after the mulatto's
recovery the Out-buildings on Beachs farm were
burned 10 the ground Norris was arrested as an
1 cendiary. but through the shrewdness OF counsel
escaped punishment Since then many have pre-
dicted that the feud would terminate In the death
OF one or the other.

From the New York Tribune.
"Do you know" said well-known plate-glass
dealer TO Tribune reporter, 'that the great
plate-glass windows that adorn large store fronts
have their origin In the vanity OF women? A
woman likes TO see herself as Others see her. She
can do that In a mirror When she Is on the street
the show windows serve as mirrors to tell her how
prettily or badly she appears, II her hat Is on
crooked, her back h air down or her new-fangled
hustle awry. Watch the women as they saunter
up and down Broadway or 9Th avenue. and you
Will ind nine out OF ten casting furtive glanceS
into the windows that reflect back their kenesses
Then they are attracted 10 the goods In the win

IL was that idea that first brought about big
plate-glasS windows. The Old common frames,
with large numbers OF panes, gave no opportunity
for the ladies 10 see their full figures They could
only see their faces Tradesmen who observed
the manner in which they looked In the windows
urged the glass manufacturers to make large
panes. They gradually made them larger and
larger until now they I'LL the entire front. The
